stilton cauliflower soup
(1 rating)
I love the funk of a good veined cheese, and no cheese in that family exudes funk like Stilton, that English funk-O-rific treat. With this dish, the funk-factor of the Stilton is mellowed by the creamy cauliflower and the result blends together to make it an excellent accompaniment to any sandwich I can think of… except maybe PB & J. Here I served the soup with a big-boy version of a BLT, using pepper bacon, arugula, tomato and avocado on chipotle mayo slathered whole wheat wrap, but feel free to expand your own horizons and try it with your favorite sandwich. - Geoffry
